NASA busy with STS-127 and Apollo 11

Science - Space



NASA, as it celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, asks the question: “Why couldn’t Neil Armstrong sleep on the Moon?”

The answer appears at: NASA’s website “Wide Awake in the Sea of Tranquillity.”

Within the article it states, “The Eagle was not a sleepy place. The tiny cabin was noisy with pumps and bright with warning lights that couldn't be dimmed. Even the window shades were glowing, illuminated by intense sunshine outside."

"'After I got into my sleep stage and all settled down, I realized there was something else [bothering me],' said Armstrong. The Eagle had an optical telescope sticking out periscope-style. 'Earth was shining right through the telescope into my eye. It was like a light bulb.'"


As NASA heads to the Moon in the twenty-first century, look back to what the United States accomplished forty years ago.

If we put our minds to it, we can accomplish even more in the next forty years.
